Vobiscum
Heavier than the previous album, the only change was the singer, "Dave Ingram" instead of "Mark" Barney "Greenway." The sound of the album is generally heavier than "Subconscious Terror", the riffs are also better designed.
"Ian Treacy" holds up the sticks again and very helpful in the improvement and evolution of the band.
It seems that the two guitarists are more inspired, "Darren Brookes" and "Peter Rewinsky" improved their technical merits for the band.
"Paul Adams" in the first moment seems inaudible but only seems ... arrives at his bass and do not let the pick away from the strings.
The voice of "Dave Ingram" fits better with a sound proposal for the band.
This album contains a cover song of "Celtic Frost -" Return to the Eve. "
Even with some passages still drawn to resemble the first album, here you can see a maturing of the band.
For those who enjoyed that line quite a bit dragged from the first album, the track "Vision in the Shroud" is a good tip, although shake a little later. "Opulence of the Absolute" has a "Benediction" more aggressive.
Overall, "The Grand Leveller" also recalls a bit the "Subconscious Terror", because the difference is only one year, but it's still another step of maturity. Worth it.
